Video: Ride Along With Goliath on an 8.4 Sec. Pass

A few days ago, the first Switzer Performance-built “Goliath” became the world’s fastest GTR, rocking the Moscow Unlimited with a 22-second pass at 250 MPH in the hands of an amateur driver. While that pass set a new standard for GTR top speed, the 1/4 mile time on that run was in the high 9s,

A few days ago, the 1500+ HP, Switzer Performance-built “Goliath” GTR became the fastest GTR in the world.

Today, we have more 0-300 runs from the high-powered GTR from a number of angles. In-car, out-car,

Switzer E1K Ethanol GTR

Boulder E1K vs. Shift S3ctor

Boulder Nissan‘s P800 has shown up on these pages in the past, after winning the TX2K10 and hitting fantastic speeds at the Texas Mile event immediately afterwards. Since then, the car has “outgrown” its P800 markings, and has been turned into a 1000 hp, ethanol-fueled track-terror. We call it the E1K, for “ethanol” and “1000

R1K-X GTR (w/ video)

This is Switzer’s newest car: the R1K-X. When most people see a hot new car, they tend to skip through the write-up and go straight for the performance specs. Is that you? If it is, this is what you want to know about Switzer’s latest R35 GTR conversion: it makes over 1400 horsepower, and you
